My Style

Hi there,
I am a session drummer, situated in the UK.


I have worked with, and supported many artists over my drumming career, I love nearly all music styles, you can't be too narrow minded with drumming!

I particularly enjoy: Pop/Dance/D&B/Soul/Funk/Jazz/Rock&sub genres of all mentioned)


I'm putting up a selection of some of my favourite tracks/recordings and bands I've been proud to be a part of over the years onto Soundcloud for potential clients to listen to!
If you are interested in my services please contact me for very reasonable session rates (live/rehearsal/studio).

I also have a love for radio, and occasionally getting shout outs and contributing towards a subject, so I have uploaded a few of these too. :-)


Please feel free to check out my tracks, and comments are very much appreciated!
Thanks for listening :-)
